Enhancing Privacy and Security in Crowds using Fog Computing

Thousands of crowded events take place every year. Often, management does not properly implement and manage privacy and security of data of the participants and personnel of the events. Crowds are also prone to significant security issues and become vulnerable to terrorist attacks. The aim of this paper is to propose a privacy and security framework for large, crowded events like the Hajj, Kumbh, Arba'een, and many sporting events and musical concerts. The proposed framework uses the latest technologies including Internet of Things, and Fog computing, especially in the Location based Services environments. The proposed framework can also be adapted for many other scenarios and situations.
